Wingfoil course · El Gouna, Egypt · since 2004
Start from zero or build on your kite experience. Wing, board and foil skills taught step by step, with all equipment and a dedicated deeper zone for foil practice.
Tell us what you can do on the water, rather than just how many years you have kited. We match the starting point to your wing control, board balance and foil experience. Standard lessons have up to 2 students sharing one complete setup and taking turns; private teaching is 1:1.

See beginner course prices →Describe your most recent session: could you control the wing, ride both ways, lift onto foil or stay upwind? That helps us choose beginner work, Progress I or Progress II.
See the learning sequence →A tow behind the boat lets you focus on board and foil control without steering a wing. Boat foiling is a separate bookable session, run when water and boat conditions suit.

The published Kitepower beach-station analysis covers 2022-05-21 to 2026-06-14. About 77% of qualifying days met the rideable-day definition: at least 2 hourly averages of 12 kt or more between 08:00 and 18:00, local time. Only days with at least 6 daytime hours of observations are counted. This describes recorded wind at our beach; it does not predict your week or determine whether a beginner lesson can run.

The goal isn't one lucky lift. It's control you can repeat — and an honest next step after every session.
Choose your course ↓Built for foiling, not improvised
Our dedicated deeper wing and foil zone has protected water with no ocean swell. We use it when tide and conditions provide the depth a foil needs.
The first ~800 m from the beach is knee-to-waist deep and calm, so you can stand up, reset and understand the next correction instead of fighting waves between attempts.
Lagoon depth changes with the tide and daily conditions. We choose the shallow training area or dedicated deeper foil zone for the actual water level instead of promising identical conditions every tide.
The school, rental, test point and weather station all operate on the same spot. Your coach sees the water, the wind and your real level — then gives you the next step you can repeat.
Not a lucky first flight. A spot and a system that help you repeat it.

Start with 5 hours of beginner wing handling and first rides, then progress towards upwind, jibes and longer flights at your actual pace. Every course includes an IWO record of the skills you demonstrate and all the gear — and there's 20% off the course rate when you bring your own.
Complete beginners. Wing handling, stable riding, first foil pops.

Standard group = up to 2 students per instructor with one complete setup; students alternate. For capable, level-matched riders, advanced coaching groups of up to 4 can be arranged on request with multiple complete setups. A group price needs a group: if nobody else joins your slot, you choose: ride private 1:1 at the private rate, or keep the group price and ride 1:1 for the equivalent shorter water time. Told up front, your choice. Bring your own gear for 20% off the course rate. Already flying? See wing & foil rental → and hourly coaching →.
German-speaking instructors have limited capacity in peak season — book early to lock in your dates.
Already flying and just want water time? Ride by the hour with a coach on the beach — the more hours you log across your stay, the lower the rate drops.

Wind awareness and board skills are useful foundations. Wing handling and foil balance are new skills, so your coach chooses the appropriate start. Combining both sports gives your trip more variety; the day’s wind, depth and your level determine what you can ride.
Learn on gear you can actually buy
You learn on current equipment — beginner-friendly high-volume boards and large stable foils to start, then more performance-oriented wings and foils as you progress. We're an official test point, so when you're ready to buy, you can try the whole range on the water first.
Flat water, real depth, real data
Our dedicated deeper wing/foil zone is used when tide and conditions provide suitable mast clearance. And from our own weather station (2 million+ readings over 4 years) about 77% of days a year are rideable, peaking around 85% in August. These are historical wind measurements, not the percentage of days suitable for beginner wingfoil lessons.
% of days with a rideable session (≥ 12 kt for ≥ 2 h of daylight), measured by our own station. Winter air ≈ 22 °C — pack a full wetsuit, not boardshorts. See the spot & live wind →

Kids & families
Children are assessed individually for water confidence, attention, strength, motivation, weight and equipment fit. The coach chooses drills and the water zone to suit the child and current conditions; age alone does not decide readiness. Course prices are the same as for adults.

Kitesurfing depends on the wind, so we built our policy around it. We don’t refund payments — by any method, whether you paid in cash, by card, bank transfer or online — instead, we protect every hour you’ve paid for.
If the wind is too light or too strong to teach safely, we reschedule your lesson to another time the same day, or to the next day.
Any hour you can’t use stays as credit on your account — with no deadline. Come back next week, next season, or years later and pick up exactly where you left off.
Prefer flexibility? We convert unused hours into a voucher of equal value that you can use yourself or give to a friend.
This is why booked hours never expire, and why we schedule lessons around the conditions measured on our lagoon. Questions before you book? Message us on WhatsApp — we’ll talk it through. Read the full terms →
